Good advise, TJ. We have been RVing since late "90s and have crossed the country multiple times including immigration checkpoints in Southern AZ and CA as well as border checks into Canada and Mexico with never anything other than a "have a good day" from the officer manning the checkpoint. Like TJ, I have experience in the law, both as a prosecutor and a judge and I know of no place where a dirty licence plate, without a lot more, would give an officer probable cause to search your vehicle. I suspect there is quite a bit more to the story that is not being told. We are all aware that there are bad apples among police forces just as in any profession, but the far greater majority of police are simply doing their job as best they can.
